Politics and Vision is a landmark work by one of the great thinkers of the twentieth century. First published in 1960 and substantially expanded for republication in 2004, it is both a sweeping survey of Western political thought and a powerful account of contemporary predicaments of power and democracy. In lucid and compelling prose, Sheldon Wolin offers original, subtle and often surprising interpretations of political theorists from Plato to Rawls. Situating them historically while sounding their depths, he critically engages their diverse accounts of politics, theory, power, justice, citizenship and institutions. With his conviction that political theory at its best involves an incisive rendering of collective existence and a vision of the Good that lies outside the existing political order, Wolin's readings of canonical works draw out their imaginative, creative dimensions. He also theorizes the severe challenges to democracy generated by novel contemporary forms and fusions of power emanating from states and large economic actors. Acclaimed as a tour de force when it was first published, and a major scholarly event when the expanded edition appeared, Politics and Vision will instruct, inspire, and provoke for generations to come.
